Introduction
The EMP-2848M series is a Softly based Ether CAT master with an integrated
multi-axis motion control kernel. The programmable automation controller
combines compact size, economy, flexibility, and excellent performance and is
the ideal partner for small and medium-sized motion control applications where
cost and space- constrains is an deciding factor.
The high-performance quad-core Cortex-A53 processor together with the Real-
Time Linux (RT-Preempt) operating system and built in Soft PLC ensure fast,
deterministic and real-time behavior in the motion control applications. The
integrated, configurable high-speed Ether CAT master can be connected to any
standard, 3rd party Ether CAT slave, such as I/Os, servo motor, stepper
motor, encoder, etc.. The Ether CAT master can synchronously update up to 128
slaves including 16 servo/stepper drives within a cycle time of 500
microseconds.
The integrated web server assists the user in configuring and diagnosing the
Ether CAT networks, and testing of motion control functions. Win-GRAF
workbench is a programming software that ICPDAS developed according to the
international standard IEC 61131 and aimed at achieving compatibility and
reusability.

System Restore and Reset Default
This chapter describes how to use Rotary Switch to restore the system and reset the default.
| Rotary Switch| Mode
---|---|---
| 0| Normal mode
1| Restore system using SD card
2| Reset default
3| Delete configuration file
4.1. Restore System Using microSD (Rotary Switch: 1)
[Restore the image to the microSD card]
-
Download the latest version of the SD card system restore image from Download Center.
https://www.icpdas.com/tw/download/index.php?model=EMP-2848M -
The file emp-2848m-system-restore-sd-xxxx-xx-xx.zip contains the emp-2848m-system-restore-sd-xxxx-xx-xx.img image file.
-
Prepare a microSD card with at least 4GB of space. Use Draw Copy or Win32DiskImager tool to restore the image file to the SD card.
[Automatic system restore process]
-
Insert the microSD card into the microSD slot and connect the keyboard and monitor to the USB and VGA ports, turn the Rotary Switch to 1, then turn on the power.
-
Wait for the following message to appear on the screen, please enter y to start the automatic system restore process. This message will stay for 5 seconds waiting for user input, if the user does not enter, you can use the manual system restore process to restore.
-
When the restore is successful, one long beeps from buzzer and “system restore successful” will be displayed, press any key to end. If the restore fails, three short beeps
from buzzer and “xxx restore failed” will be displayed. -
Finally, turn the Rotary Switch to 0 normal mode and reapply power.
[Manual system restore process]
